The Cruden Bay & District Horticultural Club, formerly known as the Cruden Bay Horticultural Society, is a long-standing community organisation based in Cruden Bay, Aberdeenshire. Established in 1983, the club has played a significant role in enhancing the village’s aesthetic appeal and fostering community spirit through horticultural activities.
One of the club’s primary contributions is organising the annual Cruden Bay Flower and Vegetable Show, a highlight in the village calendar. This event showcases local talent in gardening, floral art, baking, and crafts, and includes competitions such as the Best Kept Garden Awards. The 2023 show, held at Longhaven Public Hall, featured various categories and recognised numerous local participants for their contributions.
Beyond the annual show, the club is instrumental in beautifying the village during the summer months. Members plant and maintain floral displays throughout Cruden Bay, contributing to the village’s charm and appeal. Their efforts have been recognised in initiatives like Buchan in Bloom.
The club’s activities are supported by community engagement and occasional grants. In 2016, for instance, the Cruden Community Council secured funding on behalf of the Horticultural Society to replace planters, further enhancing the village’s appearance.
